Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed interest in Palermo defender Simon Kjaer.

The Guardian says though he maintained he is "happy with what I've got at the moment", Redknapp is aware that fulfilling the club's ambition of securing a Champions League spot this season may entail strengthening his squad and admitted that other potential transfer targets are under close observation.

Twice this month he has flown to Italy to watch matches and he acknowledged that "we've looked at" Palermo's Danish centre back Kjaer.
